Fan for the production of a picture of a Chinese man

The performer opens the fan and shows a plain image, with green grass at the bottom and a blue sky at the top. When the performer wishes, the fan may be opened again revealing a Chinese man. The fan is usually used in conjunction with a silk handerchief. The performer shows the handkerchief with a picture of a Chinese man on it. The image of the man is magically made to disappear, only to be found on the fan.
